History: Strongman is an adventurer in the mold of Doc Savage. He has superhuman strength, although how he developed this is unexplained (at least in the stories I have).
Comments: Strongman is very politically incorrect from the samples of the strip I have - in the space of four pages he manages to refer to Japanese opponents as "nasty little Nip's", "banana face", "rice-eating war lovers" and "lemon faced scum". I'd expect it from a World War II comic, but not in 1970.
CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with
Strongman, Golden age
